Buttload of Faith: the 2016 Presidential Primary Thread (Pt 2)

I'd like the moderators to ask these guys how they would fundamentally distinguish the San Bernardino shooting from the Colorado Springs shooting. Does it just boil down to the religion of the shooter?

These guys are such dipshits all of them.

Which of these chumps keeps coughing off camera?

Is the San Bernardino attack really being treated as a terrorist attack on some different level than a crazy guy shooting up a clinic in Colorado Springs?

― Josh in Chicago

ask them about Dylann Roof

They should take all phones and screens away from these guys, lock them in a room, then just tell them they're the stars of a highly rated reality show. Then keep them in that room, forever, until they die. And then keep broadcasting it, so we can slowly watch them decompose.

Christie's tie is trying to escape.

I actually thought Christie said "And we stopped four dicks..." there--I thought his famous temper was taking hold.

Forget office, Jeb! has seriously aged over the course of his campaign.

Trump just claimed the Internet for America.

I think Trump wants to invade the internet.

I think a firewall that starts with a simple pop-up question--"Are you from Isis?"--would work just fine.

ironically being locked in a room and decomposing is kind what it's like to work for the government!

which one of these people would be best at running the day to day functions of the government?

like the really boring shit

Well, if you conclude the day to day function of the government is indiscriminately killing and bombing, they'd probably all be OK at that.

Kill, kill, death, death.

who could take care of a plant hte best

"who can take care of a plant?"

jeb very much the "very serious person" in the room

FITE!

will ferrell was born to play jeb! not W imo

I think what we have here, boys, is a good ol' fashioned asshole-off.

i hope they preserve ben carson's brain when he dies

The dynamic seems pretty obvious. Anyone close stays clear of Trump for the time being; the people who confront him are Bush and Paul. Cruz and Rubio are after each other. Carson's barely in the picture.

Trump fighting with the crowd! What a fucking loon.

Ah, fuck it, I don't want to watch this shit. This is like eating 8 strips of bacon, a pint of gas station ice cream, then plopping down for a Two and half Men rerun marathon.

Josh you're never going to be president with that attitude

remember when petraeus was fired for telling obama something he didn't want to hear? "i'm involved in a bizarre and degrading sex scandal"

The office of President is outdated. It's all about the Facebook and Snapchat and Twitter. I will call up my friends on those services, and together we will make American great again.

ted cruz is like one of those dudes who took church really *really* seriously

following the rules for so long you end up making up the rules without knowing it

Iran is winning everywhere! The Shia crescent is spreading!

I think I'm going to bern my Republican primary vote on Christie. I'm curious if he learned anything from #Bridgegate. Maybe he'll be a crook and get impeached after two years.

also he's a pretty #darkhorse candidate and it would be funny to see him make a run and be like lol i'm voting for that guy

Pretty good line by Jeb! (The exclamation belongs to my sentence.)

Donald Trump is going to start his own news network!

*trump cruz fist bump*

When Fiorina and Kasich start in on how much people hate all the squabbling--don't they know that's the only reason to watch one of these things?

eh just watch a wwe rerun then, i watch it to catch up on the issues

I didn't catch the first 45 mins or so, but this seemed fairly uneventful. I don't think rubio came off well.

please. please ask about Roof. and ask about his hero, white supremacist Earl Holt, who has given tens of thousands of dollars to three men standing on that stage tonight.

just don't play a game where you have to drink if they mention mental instability

or when this thread mentions mental instability (wingnuts etc) (x-post)

NPR news led w/ a Huckabee quote! The one about Facebook monitoring that sounded like Clinton.

Naturally the hacks this morning obsess over Jeb!'s "comeback" and ignore Rand Paul inflicting well-timed stings on Christie, Rubio, and Cruz for their belligerence.

Sting (wrestler or musician) entering the race at this point would indeed be well-timed.

Sting's expertise in tantric practices may help Republican candidates in their decisionmaking about whether to stay in or pull out (of the race).
